hmm, I hope I'm not flogging a dead horse here, but... In terms of blessed lunacy, the most liberal of creative commons licenses, fits the bill. Everything that everyone has been talking about, giving, making works available, etc. Though I agree, there is something wholesome about 'no right reserved...

Yeah, I see your point, though I think the pros outway the cons (for CC) The difference between gutenberg and librivox, is that gutenberg is putting public domain stuff in an accessible place.

Also, many of us here at LibriVox believe information should be more freely available to the public, rather than have restrictions on it. And this is precisely my point.
